[Occurrence 1]
Per comprendere al meglio che cosa sia l'economia della conoscenza, bisogna prima descrivere il concetto di conoscenza. Essa viene considerata un **bene economico** che genera spesso esternalità positive, poiché la conoscenza creata da un agente produce nella maggior parte dei casi effetti positivi su altri agenti senza che questi ultimi corrispondano ai primi compensazioni pecuniarie o altro. E' un bene quindi non rivale e non escludibile [...]
[Occurrence 2]
Volendo descrivere più approfonditamente le sue caratteristiche, quando parliamo di non escludibilità del **bene** si intende che risulta difficile impedire ad altri soggetti di trarne dei vantaggi e di regolarne l'uso a livello privato. |

Definition of 'Public Good'
A product that one individual can consume without reducing its availability to another individual and from which no one is excluded. Economists refer to public goods as "non-rivalrous" and "non-excludable". National defense, sewer systems, public parks and basic television and radio broadcasts could all be considered public goods.
